Not all psychics, fortune tellers, healers,

much as they are out to take your money. The following are some of
the things you should watch out for when you are looking for guidance,

Seeing
the future—or just dollar signs? By Matt Bean Court TV
Alone and depressed, Stephen Schwartz was flipping through channels
one evening in late 1999 when Miss Cleo appeared on his television
screen. The 49-year-old supermarket delivery man became transfixed
as the psychic doled out insights into love, finance and employment
prospects. When she offered to do the same for him — free for the
first three minutes and at a discounted rate for the rest of the call
— Schwartz decided it was a deal he could not pass up. |
In
search of Miss Cleo By Matt Bean Court TV
Any story about the Mind and Spirit Psychic Network would be incomplete
without a call to the psychic service itself. So after scouting out
the late-night airwaves for one of Miss Cleo's commercials, that's
exactly what I did. What happened certainly amazed me—as the commercial
promised—but not quite in the way I expected.

You can't hide from Miss Cleo. The self-proclaimed television psychic's
grinning, beturbaned head pops up everywhere, urging viewers to call
her now for free foreknowledge of romance, jobs, family matters, and
health, all delivered in a vaguely Caribbean accent. Mass e-mails
breathlessly urge recipients to listen to her visions and dreams,
which she promises will change their lives. Her Websites ominously
